my girlfriend is considering early decision next year since im a year ahead of her. I wanted to find out the latest she can take her mcat and still apply early. From what I understand, she needs to have everything in by August 1, so if she takes it June 18, when scores are released July 22, will that be ok?

I ask because i know it sometimes takes medical schools a couple of weeks to receive your mcat scores. What do you guys think? Would she have to take it in the end of may to be safe?

thanks

I would presume that would be fine. Receiving your scores by July 22 is early enough if she works on her personal essay and other things beforehand. Also, most places I think you can send in all of your information and then send the mcat score when ready. Essentially, you could have your entire application done and then just send the mcat score....I believe I am right about this.
